Chord Hugo 2 bygger precis som lillebror Mojo med en egen programmerad DAC kallad FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) från självaste Rob Watts. Det som utmärker Hugo 2 är framförallt valmöjligheterna, fyra olika filter kan man jobba med för att hitta sin personliga ljudsignatur. Som tidigare version av Hugo så finns X-PHD-filtret kvar om man vill få ett annat perspektiv på ljudet, kan vara bra om man har ett par hörlurar som är lite för ingående i sin ljudbubbla.

The Hugo 2 still has a strong reputation as a compact, highly resolving DAC/headphone amp, and at kr8,500 it looks like a clear bargain against the current used SEK market. With comparable listings centered at kr13,452 and the 25th percentile at kr10,866, this sits comfortably below the low end of normal asking prices.
That makes it especially attractive if the unit is clean and fully functional, because Hugo 2’s value is in its very revealing sound, excellent portability, and ability to anchor a serious desktop or travel setup without much fuss. At this price, the main things to confirm are simple and practical: battery health, all inputs and outputs working, and whether the original accessories are included; if those check out, it’s a strong buy.

Chord Electronics, a British high-fidelity powerhouse, traces its roots to the aviation industry. Founded in 1989 by John Franks, a former Marconi Avionics engineer, the company emerged from his early 1980s innovations in ultra-reliable, high-frequency switching power supplies for aircraft electronics. Initially too costly for commercial viability, the designs became feasible with advancing components, launching Chord from its Kent headquarters in a renovated pumphouse that remains its manufacturing heart.
The brand excels in premium amplifiers and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), blending Franks' analog prowess with digital expertise from FPGA specialist Rob Watts. Early power amplifiers quickly won acclaim from professional studios like the BBC, Abbey Road, and Skywalker Sound, establishing credibility before shifting focus to consumer hi-fi. Iconic products like the Hugo and Mojo DACs exemplify their boundary-pushing approach, alongside integrated amps and streamers, all handcrafted in the UK without compromise on power, precision, or musicality.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Chord commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its uncompromising engineering, aerospace-grade reliability, and bold innovation. Independent and proudly British, it sets benchmarks in transparency and dynamics, attracting buyers who demand reference-level performance over mass-market concessions.
